Copper Knight^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 90| BF| D

9/1

Ended long losing run at York in May but not really built on that and arrives on back of disappointing effort at Newcastle.

Form: 315750

Celsius^t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: Tom Clover| OR: 86| CD

10/1

C&D winner who acquitted himself well, on return from 8 months off, when fifth of 7 in handicap here (5f, good to firm, 17/2) 34 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 83208-5

Many A Star^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan| OR: 83| C

10/1

Promising third on debut for this yard in April but not really threatened since and has bit to prove at present.

Form: 65-3083

(9)

Tenaya Canyon³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 86| BF| D

9/2

Built on earlier promise back at this trip when landing 7-runner handicap at Haydock in June. Good second over C&D (good to firm) since and likely to make presence felt again here.

Form: 1-27512

Autumn Flight⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L Dettori| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 83| BF| D

17/2

Two AW wins in April and has largely remained in form since, posting solid second in Yarmouth handicap (5.2f, good) last time. Warrants respect.

Form: 122032

Ballintoy Harbour²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 85| D

10/3

Posted much improved form when winning 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, kept up to work. 6 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims.

Form: 41-1361

(7)

Irish Acclaim⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80

20/1

Dual winner at Dundalk earlier this year but has never scored on turf and ran poorly on debut for new connections at Newcastle 7 days ago.

Form: 030020

(10)

Saaheq^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 80| CD

25/1

Already a three-time winner this year, the latest over this trip at Sandown in June. Not beaten far when fourth over that C&D recently and could make presence felt here.

Form: 581904

(3)

Equitation^p1,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 79| C

17/2

Best part of 2 years since last victory and made little impression on recent return from 9-week absence at Newmarket. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 627389

Hey Mr⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 79| D

9/2

Won small-field 5f Nottingham nursery last autumn and ran with promise on return at York. Excuses since and can't be ruled out.

Form: 321-360

Forecasts

Ballintoy Harbour (10/3), Tenaya Canyon (9/2), Hey Mr (9/2), Autumn Flight (17/2), Equitation (17/2), Copper Knight (9/1), Celsius (10/1), Many A Star (10/1), Irish Acclaim (20/1), Saaheq (25/1)

This can go to BALLINTOY HARBOUR, who boasts a good strike rate and upped her form a notch when scoring at Newmarket last month. Tenaya Canyon and Autumn Flight are feared most.
